Chu Zexuan gradually woke up, he slowly opened his eyes, and saw a white expanse between heaven and earth, snowflakes falling from the sky one after another, and the surroundings seemed to be a white tent, and the earth was covered in silver. Further afield, there is an endless silver wasteland, with the occasional hill undulating, but no vegetation in sight, completely lifeless. ”

He found himself wearing the black cloak he had worn before, with his head resting on the old man's knees, who sat on the floor. There was a bonfire burning next to it, and I didn't know where the old man would find fuel in such a desolate place.

"Awake?" the old man looked at Chu Zexuan, who looked tired.

Chu Zexuan struggled to move his body and wanted to get up, but was pressed back by the old man, "Don't force it, your current physical condition is not suitable for moving." ”

"Where is this?" Chu Zexuan asked suspiciously, his mouth was dry now, his head was still a little dizzy, and he tried to remember, but his mind was blank.

"The Land of Thoughts!" said the old man in a hearty voice, "This is the place where there are countless powerful and rare world trees!"

Chu Zexuan suddenly felt that the old man was a little second-year, this place could not match the advanced civilization he imagined, and there were no trees around.

"What is the World Tree?"

"A single World Tree can nourish the entire earth and turn it from barren to vibrant. And there are many such trees distributed in the Mind Continent, their roots can fertilize the land to purify water, the trunk is an important material for making high-quality magic wands and artifacts, the leaves exude pure and abundant aura for the cultivation and growth of creatures here, and the fruit is called the fruit of life, which can refine elixir and enhance power. The towns of all races are built on it, and it is the most precious treasure of the Continent of Ideas, and it is also the largest place that distinguishes it from the earth. ”

When I have the opportunity, I will also go to see what this magical tree looks like, Chu Zexuan thought.

"Then how did we get here, and how did I pass out?"

"I made you look directly into the eyes of the Black Dragon Emperor at the top of the tower, you are guilty of the same disease as your mother. The old man handed the snow water that had been burned on the bonfire to Chu Zexuan.

"Drink some water first, there are some things you have to know sooner or later. What I'm going to talk about next may turn your worldview upside down. Chu Zexuan picked up the cup and moistened his lips and listened carefully.

"The civilization of this Idea Continent has lasted for hundreds of millions of years, and in ancient times, four powerful races were born: the Ancient God Clan, the Ancient Dragon Clan, the Ancient Demon Clan, and the Ancient Demon Clan. ”

"Among them, the leaders of the ancient dragons and the ancient gods are the creators of all things in the universe and the land of ideas. The Old Gods controlled all the reincarnations of fate in the world, they were powerful and omnipotent, and created their people in their own image—the human race. The ancient dragons mastered the elements and spirits, and the dragons used their own elemental power to create the earth, sky, mountains and oceans, so that the world has rainstorms and hurricanes, lightning and thunder, so that all things have wisdom and power. ”

"When humans were created by the Protoss, the Ancient Demon Race lived underground and mastered black magic and enjoyed eating people, while the Ancient Demon Race were usually huge savage beasts, and the strength of human beings seemed too small in front of them. But this young race did not sit still, and some of them created a power that humans could wield - the power of the mind by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, constantly meditating and learning. People learn to control objects with their minds, and some people with high cultivation can turn their minds into qi through their minds, and turn their thoughts into physical objects to attack directly. This is a great evolution of the human race, allowing them to finally have their own foothold in the Mind Continent in the ancient period, and they can barely compete with these ancient creatures. ”

"But most people don't have the talent to cultivate telekinesis, and those who have cultivated to a high level are not enough to protect all human beings in ancient times. And the Ancient God Clan also despised the weaker of these races and ignored them. Seeing that most of the human race was about to become extinct, the Black Dragon Emperor Nidhogg used a tree of life to nourish and create a planet suitable for human habitation in the universe - the earth, bringing those who were not talented enough to survive in the Continent of Ideas to the earth for them to multiply and develop slowly. And Nidhogg Academy is the place where the Black Dragon Emperor set up on Earth to spread civilization and knowledge. ”

"The ancient gods knew that there was no movement on the surface, but behind the scenes, they sent people to the earth to preach God and gods, molded the dragons into an evil thing, and spread rumors that the black dragon Nidhogg was gnawing on the roots of the World Tree, and once the World Tree was destroyed, it would be the day the earth fell. ”

Chu Zexuan was stunned when he heard this, and asked thoughtfully, "So the people on the earth are all people who have no ability to cultivate mental power, and the gods they believe in and the dragons they hate live in the land of mind?"

The old man smiled, "Not entirely true. Their descendants will also have genetic mutation talents, but the scarcity of spiritual energy on the earth is not enough to cultivate. The ancient dragon clan and the ancient god clan do live in the continent of ideas, and there are some places on the earth that also believe in dragons, such as China, where you are located, there is nothing wrong with believing in gods, after all, it is the gods who created human beings. ”

I heard the old man continue, "Actually, the two ancient clans have a long history of grievances, the Black Dragon Emperor feeds on the roots of the World Tree on the Continent of Thought, and the ancient god clans need this kind of tree in all aspects. That's why the portrait of the Black Dragon Emperor you see at the top of the bell tower is set against the backdrop of the World Tree. ”

"The Black Dragon Emperor takes great care of human beings, so naturally he won't eat the one on the earth. In the Land of Ideas, almost every city of the human race is guarded by the descendants of the ancient dragon clan to prevent the human race from suffering heavy losses when the beast tide occurs. On Earth, the Dragons' Nidhogg Academy helps humans cultivate cutting-edge talents, and acts as a platform to travel here when someone is found to be suitable for cultivating telekinesis. ”

"So I'm the one who is suitable for cultivation?" Chu Zexuan interrupted the old man's words.

The old man looked him in the eye solemnly and said, "No, anyone who is suitable for cultivating mental power will be taken to Night City, and this is all before you were born. ”

A trace of sadness flashed in the old man's eyes. "Your birth was arguably one of the greatest catastrophes ever in the history of the Continent of Minds, leading to an unprecedented war that brought an ancient and powerful race to near extinction. So much so that the people here call you the child of disaster, otherwise no one would have traveled thousands of miles to the earth to hunt you down. ”

"Ah——?" Chu Zexuan was shocked, "What does it have to do with me?"

"It starts with the universe. At the origin of the universe, there were fifty-three powerful creatures, namely thirteen dragons that controlled spirits and elements, twenty-four powerful gods, four demon kings, and twelve rakshasas. They are creatures born with the universe and the Creator who broke new ground. At first, the universe was chaotic, so they divided labor and cooperated, the demon king, the rakshasa swallowed and carried the sun, the moon and the stars, and the dragon and the god slowly cast the world, so they were called the fifty-three ancestors together, and these fifty-three pioneers found a way to create their own race, they risked the risk of being hurt to give birth to offspring with their own flesh and blood, and then let their offspring reproduce each other, so there were four ancient races of dragon gods and demons, and the races that appeared later were not comparable.

"And if you want to be called the Ancient God Clan, the Ancient Dragon Clan, the Ancient Demon Clan or the Ancient Demon Clan, you need to meet two conditions. One must be the relatives of these fifty-three Heaven Opening Ancestors, and the second must have more than 10 percent of the blood of the Ancestors in their bodies. It can be said that the four ancient races are the best of the bloodlines among the four major races, and they have the ability of their own ancestors. Legend has it that ancient creatures can be eternal, and they do not need to cross the catastrophe and will not be born, old, sick and die. ”

"Therefore, there is a world of difference between the ancient clan and the clan, and this ten percent of the ancestral bloodline is what many people dream of. But after hundreds of millions of years of reproduction, the blood has faded from generation to generation, and those with insufficient blood purity have become dragons, gods, demons, and demons, and the creatures of the four ancient races have become very rare. There are also many races on the continent, for example, the demon clan has branched out of the beast clan and the sea king clan, they are strong but have low intelligence, and some of the demon clans who are not talented enough to practice a bloody technique, which branched out into the ghost clan that specializes in devouring people to enhance their skills. Now the various tribes will fight each other, and they will also intermarry and multiply. It is also normal to give birth to offspring. ”

"But your parents are very special, they are the Ancient Dragon Clan and the Ancient God Clan!, and your father is the product of the Black Dragon Emperor's seventh own birth!"

"In order to prevent the bloodline of their descendants from becoming weaker and weaker, the fifty-three ancestors only allowed intermarriage within the ancient clan. And every 90 billion years, it will give birth to a blood account for about 30 percent, and the offspring with a similar appearance to their own blood will replenish the blood of their own family. Although it will be weakened for a long time after each birth, it will greatly increase the strength of its race. The Black Dragon Emperor originally intended to use your father as a tool for reproduction, but your father had his own ideas, disobeyed the Black Dragon Emperor's orders, and fell in love with the descendants of the ancient god clan god of time. ”

"Your father was the Black Dragon Emperor's most successful birth, and his bloodline purity was as high as thirty-eight percent. And although your mother is not a descendant of the Ancient God of Time, she has eleven percent of the blood of the Ancient God of Time in her blood, which meets the standard of the Ancient Clan. Moreover, the Ancient God of Time is the fourth among the twenty-four gods, has great power, does not have many offspring, and is still early before the next birth, so your mother is also quite valued. ”

"The Protoss and the Dragons can intermarry, but the Ancient Protoss and the Ancient Dragons cannot. This involves the bloodline inheritance of the four ancient clans, which is a very complicated matter, and I will explain it to you clearly here. Because there are also different ancestors in the same ancient clan, and different ancestor bloodlines bring different abilities. If there are thirteen ancestors of the ancient dragon clan, there will be thirteen bloodline branches, and in the same way, there are twenty-four kinds of ancient gods, twelve kinds of ancient demons, and four kinds of ancient demons. Because of the large number of branches, it is very likely that the parents of the children in the four ancient clans are the descendants of different ancestors. It is completely random for the child to inherit who inherits how much, the father's bloodline in the body will have the father's ability after 10 percent, and the mother's will have the mother's ability after 10 percent, if the lucky ones have passed, it is a double bloodline that occurs once in 10,000 years, and will have two abilities at the same time; if both bloodlines have not passed, even if it is nine percent, the child has no ability, and does not belong to the ancient race, so the blood transmission is very cruel. There is also a situation where both parents belong to the same ancient clan and the same branch, and the child is the descendant of this ancestor, and the probability of passing 10% of the bloodline will also be greatly increased. For example, if both parents are descendants of the ancient god clan space god, then the child is the descendant of the space god, and the ability to master space will be stronger and purer than those hybrids. ”

"There are also different races, and it doesn't matter if the bloodline strength of the general race is weak, and it doesn't matter if they intermarry and reproduce. But if the parents are the four ancient clans, the blood of these four clans is completely different and they are all extremely powerful, there is no possibility of blending, once the pregnancy blood will have a violent conflict, and the mother and child will die violently. ”

"But your parents are great, they loved each other and withstood the pressure of the world and the family, fled from the ancient tribe, and eloped. Your mother sits on the broad black dragon's back that your father became, slowing down time with her divine powers, and they soar freely between heaven and earth, enjoying the sun. One day, on the endless prairie, your parents snuggled together, swinging on a vine-woven swing, looking into the distance, and your mother said to your father with longing eyes: 'How nice it would be if we had a baby!' Although we can live forever, we can't give birth to new life like ordinary people, and there is much less fun in living. I was just watching from afar, the Black Dragon Emperor sent me to arrest your parents and go back, but when I saw them so happy, I was moved by compassion and turned away. ”

"Love is a vanity that constantly wants to prove itself, like the splendor that can only be seen when fireworks are lit! They are home all over the continent of Mind, and they have escaped countless family searches and enemies. Many years have passed, and one day a black-robed man who your father can't see through cultivation found him, gave him an ancient book of demons that can give birth to you, and helped him complete all the rituals. No one knows what he said to your parents so quickly that your parents could believe him, or what horrible things happened during the ceremony. But it is unbelievable that a few days later, your mother became pregnant, and judging from your parents' tired demeanor and weak body, they must have experienced great pain and injury. ”

"Generally, the bloodline concentration of your breeding parents will not change, but after you are born, your mother's ancestral bloodline concentration drops from eleven percent to seven percent, and your father's bloodline is directly abolished, from thirty-eight percent of the black dragon blood directly to zero, becoming a mortal who can't change back into a dragon. Cramps, stripping the marrow and draining the blood, losing eternal life and expelling the ancient clan, the price of the safety of your mother and child is so painful, but they have left the best blood for you. You inherited all of your parents' bloodline, and became the first person in the Mind Continent to have the dual bloodlines of the Ancient God Clan and the Ancient Dragon Clan. ”

"Even if the catastrophe is irreversible, even if the pain is to the bone, I will treat you as before, and the years will be the same. Your dad fulfilled his promise to your mom!"

This shocked the entire continent, and the Black Dragon Emperor was furious when he found out. The reproductive ability of the descendants of the dragon clan and the god clan is originally weaker than that of the demon clan and the demon clan, and I hoped that your father would revitalize the bloodline and become a strong dragon clan. But now all his efforts have been in vain, because he found that although you have a noble ancient bloodline, if you mobilize the ability to use one clan's bloodline, then the other clan's bloodline will come out to fight, and you are completely an ordinary person with the ability to defy the sky. This is something that your parents never imagined, you can neither slow down time like your mother, nor can you turn into a black dragon and release the dragon's breath to devour everything. And although you were born safely, there is like a time bomb in your body, and you may die one day due to a blood conflict, let alone give birth to offspring for the ancient dragon clan. It was a huge plot that had been orchestrated throughout. ”

"Originally, this is the end of the matter, your parents can no longer be regarded as an ancient clan, and your family of three can at least live an ordinary life with peace of mind. ”

"But the sky is not satisfactory, the Black Dragon Emperor has been sending people to investigate this matter, and after finding out that it was the ancient god clan who gave your parents the demon remedy and did not tell them the consequences, the Black Dragon Emperor who was prostrate in the Cold Night Palace was furious, the earth trembled, and the sky was pale. This is an act of deliberately destroying the bloodline of other clans, and this is a violation of the contract of the four ancient clans. Since ancient times, the sky of the Idea Continent has been under the control of the Ancient Dragon Clan, and judging from the activities of the Protoss in the past few hundred years, it should have been premeditated to provoke a war and compete for control of the sky. ”

"'Rampant gods, inconsistent, destroy my bloodline, cut off my inheritance, the contract of the four clans, treat it like dung, if you want to start a war, you must be punished!'"

"The Black Dragon Emperor decided to strike first, he summoned the twelve divine dragons and his dragon clan descendants, made an alliance with the human race and the ancient demon clan, and marched towards the divine realm! The thirty-six Heavenly Star elders of the human race with the highest cultivation and the masters of various sects all dispatched, and the demon king rushed straight to the enemy camp with a terrifying barbarian ancient beast. The Ancient Golden Dragon and the Ancient Fire Dragon created weapons and battle armor for them, and the Spirit Dragon God and the Power Dragon God increased the fighting spirit and strength of the army. ”

"But the ancient gods had already prepared, and together with the ancient demon clan, they formed an army to resist, and for a while, the entire Continent of Ideas was caught up in the flames of war. Usually rare ancient creatures poured out of the nest, and it was the first time that the fifty-three ancestors had gathered on a large scale since the beginning of the world, but this time they had become enemies. The first war was fought in the sea area of the Protoss border, and the elemental dragons played a huge role, the ancient water dragon created a tsunami to engulf the enemy army, the ancient thunder dragon summoned thunder and lightning to cleave the altar, the ancient earth dragon manipulated the sand and stone to sink the demon ship, and the ancient wind tornado a hurricane to block the flying blade. ”

"Realizing that the war could not be fought on the shore of the sea with many elements, the Protoss retreated to the vast plains of Serra, where there was no need to fly too much, and most of the weapons of the armies of the various clans were converted into staves. From morning to night, the sky was filled with brilliant lasers and missiles from wands, and the air seemed to be torn apart, and at night, watching the colorful shockwaves and fireballs, the air was filled with the smell of blood and burning, and there was a mysterious and unique beauty of war. ”

"And the power of the leader of the gods is better played on the plains. The Demon Clan summoned a once-in-a-million level surging beast tide, but was cut into flesh and blood by the Seven Great Artifacts of the Protoss's rapidly changing power to move mountains and pull out the sea, and suffered heavy losses. The terrifying abilities of the Protoss made people's hearts palpitate, and the Time Ancient Gods slowed down time to raid the Celestial Star Elders of the human race, causing them to be seriously injured before they could use their telekinesis defense. The space ancient god directly teleported the demon demon's flying demon ship to the sky above the dragon inhabited land for bombardment, if it wasn't for the Black Dragon Emperor who arrived in time to tear the space and devour the flying demon boat, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

"But this is just the beginning, the plague ancient gods spread the virus in the water and air, and the humans and demons who are not cultivated enough have died in large numbers; the ancient gods of the sun defeated them in the battle with the ancient wooden dragons, and tended to make the wild ancient beasts of the demon clan be roasted alive before they could fight; the dark night gods let the night shroud the dragon clan, and from time to time sent the night elves to sneak attack and harass, and the dragon's eyesight was poor and it was difficult to fly and fight in the dark. ”

"Of course, there is also good news, a monk named Han Yuntian on the Terran side killed the three Rakshasas of the Demon Race with one enemy and three enemies, you must know that the Rakshasa is an ancestor-level existence. And the Ancient Mountain Dragon used the power of the mountain range to seal the Seven Great Artifacts of the Protoss, and the Ancient Electric Dragon did not wait for the Demon Race's Ten Thousand Demon Ancient Array to be completed, and it was scattered and destroyed with lightning speed. ”

In this way, the two sides fought day and night for three years, and it was still difficult to distinguish the winner. Towards the end of the third year, things took a turn for the worse. The ancient dragon clan's reconnaissance flying dragon found that there were seven huge god statues in the hinterland of the god domain, which seemed to hide the secret of the god clan's acquisition of divine power, but there was a miasma everywhere, the entrance was narrow, and the terrain was steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In recent years, all ethnic groups have suffered heavy losses, corpses have piled up, blood has stained the soil, the war has changed the terrain in many places, and even the World Tree has been severely damaged in various parts of the continent. The Black Dragon Emperor couldn't bear to see this scene of devastation, and wanted to end the war as soon as possible, so he decided to take the risk of sending the wisdom, spirit, and strength of the ancient dragon god to raid and destroy the idol. But it's a trap. When the three dragon gods destroyed the Colossus, the Protoss hiding in the shadows used the Colossus to activate the Seven Star Circle and trap them in it. The leader of the Thirteen Rakshasas of the Ancient Demon Clan, the Demon Venerable Ancient Rakshasa drove the ancient blood mist that had been prepared a long time ago to refine them, but it would take seven days, and once the refining was completed, the Black Hole Ancient Gods waiting on the side had a chance to devour and transform the abilities of the three Ancient Dragon Gods into the three Ancient Gods. And at that time, the volume and power of the Demon Venerable Blood Mist will increase greatly, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"This is the scene that appeared in your dream, and it is the turning point of the fate of the ancient dragon clan. ”

"The Black Dragon Emperor led the army to come to the rescue, and the army of gods and demons had already set up a mechanism here to issue a certificate and waited for a long time, but because of the narrow entrance to the land of the Colossus, the decisive battle between the two sides was held in the hinterland of the gods. ”

"The gods and demons only need to hold on for seven days and not let them break into the rescue, but this is a battle related to the fate of the ancient dragon clan. Flying dragons covered the sky, spitting powerful dragon breath and fireballs of fire into the ground, and the huge and friendless demon beasts on the land rushed and tore at the enemy like chickens. However, the Xingchen Ancient God, who had eaten the Ancient Demon God Pill, suddenly exploded with divine power, summoning tens of thousands of comets to smash at them, and for a while, the sky and the earth were shattered, and the flames were shining. The Terran elders used their telekinesis to form a golden Xuanwu light shield to cover the flying dragons and ground troops in it, but the demon trolls suddenly crawled out of the ground one after another, and attacked the elders, seeing that the light mask was crumbling and was about to resist the impact of the countless stars, the Black Dragon Emperor jumped up and ————!'roared' With a deafening sound, a huge shockwave erupted from its bloody mouth, and in an instant, the sky was filled with dazzling glare and strong air currents, and the eyes and ears of all creatures on the ground were suddenly blind and deaf, and the air pressure crushed their whole bodies to shatter and collapse, and the Star Ancient God in the center of the shockwave was not even left with ashes, and the comet was also all shaken away. ”

"Although the Black Dragon Emperor's shock wave was shot towards the stars in the sky, the ancient gods also scraped a lot of gods and demons along the way, and most of them were killed and injured, while our side was only slightly injured by mistake. Seeing that the coalition army was about to rush into the hinterland, suddenly there was a majestic sound in the sky, 'Array!'. A miracle happened, the wounds of these dying Protoss disciples were all healed, and they all rushed into the sky with their swords as if they were inspired, and the black pressed ones chanted the incantation together, and then blue light burst out from their flying swords, forming a towering blue wall to block the entrance. ”

"But I saw a man riding an eight-legged unicorn covered with thunder at some point, standing at the highest point of the wall. He was dressed in heavy dark gold armor, an eagle helmet, and a sky-blue wind, with lightning shining directly in one eye, and silver hair and long hair fluttering in the air, like a rainbow. In his left hand, he held a Kungunir spear that was bent like a giant python, the arc of the spear body was like the trajectory of a meteor cutting through the night sky, the ancient rough stone on the head of the spear emitted a dazzling white light that made it impossible to look at it directly, his right hand was wearing the treasure Dropugil Gold Ring, and the two blood-eyed wolves at his feet, Killy and Kuliqi, seemed to be ready to pounce and tear people apart, and on his shoulders were two crows flying across the Continent of Thoughts to report the situation to him at any time, Fujin and Wuni!"

"The supreme leader of the ancient gods who have not yet made a move——— the main god Odin!!"
